Five hundred years before the three
little ships of Columbus were pursuing
their uncertain way across the At

the Normans had disturbed the Saxon

the shores of North America. Accord

of the great Erik the Red, set sail
from Greenland in 1902, discovered

afterwards cruised along the New
England coast to Vineyard Sound. The
two following years Thorwald. Leif's
brother, made voyages to New Eng

The Latest ldiocy.

Cats are the favorite pets at present,
and this caprice dates from Luchon,
where French women were carrying
little kittens about during the late sea-
son. They are now carried about in a
little bahut on the top of the hustle,
and will. it is prophesied. occupy the
inside of the big muffs that are about
to appear. The eccentric Princess Isa-
beau de Beauvois has much to do with
this new notion. In her pocket there
is usually a tiny kitten, and in her muff
carried all through the fall, and dec
grated with artificial flowers and rib
bons-there is one, often more that one,
pug or pup of some kind, for the ac-
commodation of which animal it is
very evident that the muff is taker

Rarest and Most Beautiful Fur.

One of the rarest, and by many consid-
cred the most beautiful and attractive of
all furs, is that of the golden beaver.
Probably not one in ten thousand ever
saw the fur. and probably not one in ten
thousand could tell where it is obtained.
Dealers usually say that it comes from
siberia as that country is the home of
many of the choicest fur-bearing animals,
and as many purchasers are ignorant
enough to pay an extra price for a fur
whose value they imagine to be increased
oy Its having come from so distant a
country-which is precisely the end
sought to be reached by the unprincipled
OF ignorant dealers themselves.
Asa matter of fact, however, the golden
beaver fur comes from the Indian terri
Tory, where few of these animals are
OCCASIONALLY found on certain little known
streams. A single pelt is worth from $50
$50, The fur is of a peculiar, bright,
fcn golden or honey color; it has an indie
Sscnbably sunshiny appearance. as if its
eehcate color were indeed derived from
imprisoned sun-rays, and therefore il.
Iumlnated from within rather than from
Without Nothing is richer and more ele-
CANT for the trimmings of ladies' gar
ments than this fur; it is too good for
Hen to wear at all.
